New York Jets running back Chris Ivory had himself a big game in Week 7, rushing for 107 yards and a score to go with four catches for 18 receiving yards. It was his best game of the season and his 25 touches were a season high.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 8: Chris Ivory
Chris Ivory looked great against the New England Patriots in Week 7. Should fantasy owners roll with him again in Week 8 against the Bills?

It's taken a while, but the Jets seem like they finally realized Chris Johnson is not the answer. He does way too much dancing in the backfield while Ivory just hits the hole and picks up yards. Johnson has only averaged 7.3 carries per game over his previous four, which is obviously not what they paid for.
This week, the Jets get a bad matchup against a very stout Buffalo Bills rushing defense. It ranks fourth in rushing yards allowed per game and has gone up against some very good backs throughout the season.
Fantasy impact: Ivory is a solid RB2 most weeks, but he’s more of an RB20-24 overall this week. The Jets will have to figure out how to pass the ball.
